deployments

If you’re already authenticated, you can directly pass in the directory with the surge command

1# deploy a directory
2surge /public

1# deploy folder while passing the domain name as parameter
2surge public/ --domain myfooo.surge.sh

save your domain name to a CNAME file

You can pass the domain name as a CLI parameter

1surge --domain myfooo.surge.sh

Or you can save it as a CNAME file

1echo myfooo.surge.sh > CNAME

When developing with Gastby, the CNAME file needs to be in the root directory or in the static folder so that it gets copied to your public folder upon build.

using a custom domain

Point your domain to na-west1.surge.sh or 45.55.110.124

# with a CNAME record (@, www)
na-west1.surge.sh

# with an A/AAA record (*)
45.55.110.124

1# deploy to your custom domain
2surge path-to-project/ mydomain.com
3
4# save custom domain name to avoid entering it every time
5echo mydomain.com > CNAME
